What's up guys, it's Jordy
here for cinecom.net and welcome to Creative Tuesday. Today I'm going to show you guys how to
make your own little food tutorial video, and we’re going to make a cute
little vegetable car, like this one right here. It's going to be a mix of stop-motion
effects together with real video. So, let's swing into it! [Cinecom's intro music] Before we start guys, I'd first
like to thank Rocketstock for sponsoring today's episode. And they've recently launched
a brand new pack called Yum, which is a collection of more
than 120 video elements that you can use in your
next food video. You can find fun transitions
in there, lower thirds, even animated characters
and so much more. To find out more about this pack make sure
to click the first link in the description below, and if you scroll
a little bit further, you can also locate a download link
where you can get several assets completely for free. We're going to start off
with building the set, and that is basically a white surface
but also a white background. Because we are going to attach a camera
on top right here somewhere, which is going to give
this top view, but we're also going to mix that
with a second camera angle, which is going to be
a little bit lower. And that's why that we're also going
to need a white background. Now, these are simple foam boards
that you can find in any store, and the nice thing about these foam boards
is that they are pretty white, of course, and relatively cheap and
also very lightweight. You can also go for any other white
surface, whatever it is at your disposal. You don't even have to go for white,
you can also have like a very nice... ...wooden background, or table,
or anything like that. Be creative with this. Next up is the lighting, and I'm actually going
to go for two soft boxes right here, which is going to keep
the lighting pretty flat, but it's also going to make sure that
the entire scene is more cleaner. And I really like that with
this white background, the colors of the vegetables
will really come out nice. So we have just attached the
Canon 5d Mark II up to a c-stand, which allowed us to have it
hang above the scenery, and that way we have
a nice top shot. We also have attached into it a USB
cable that goes to our computer right here, and on that PC we have installed the EOS utility
software from Canon, which you get with your camera
if you buy one. And that actually allows us to simply
take a picture with the software and have it... ...have a nice view
of it right here. And that way we don't have to touch the
camera and don't have any wiggling of that. You know, we can all control it
through this software. So, here are the vegetables,
these are going to be our subjects. We got some nice carrots in here,
some mushrooms and everything. We're going to create this nice little car
that you've seen in the beginning. So, we're going to make photos
of these actions right here and the reason for that is we want
to go for this stop-motion look. It's very important, if you're a go to make
a food tutorial, that everything goes fast. There are certain actions like
peeling the carrots and everything, which are just not interesting
for the audience. People know how to peel a carrot,
so don't show those things. Focus on the important things. And if you want to make more
details of certain actions, we're actually going to work with a second
camera, which we're going to bring in later, to show those things. And that way we can kind of mix
stop-motion together with normal video. Now, to know which field that we have,
where we're going to film in, I'm actually going to
tape that off... ...with some tape,
of course. And that way we know where
the action can start. I'm looking at the
Live View currently. Somewhere right here. Then I also know that, for example, once
we're going to take pictures of this carrot, which is going to roll in, that we don't have
to start making pictures right here, but that we can start
somewhere right there. So let's start now with making
pictures of this carrot right here. What I'm going to do is move this
carrot a couple of inches forward, and every time that I do so, Yannick
is going to capture a picture of that. So, like I was saying... ...sometimes I move my
hand into the framing, so that Yannick can FOCUS
-only FOCUS- on that. then I move my hand
back out of the framing, and then he snaps a picture. But Yannick has really hard time
understanding that, you know? Every time that I move
my hand into it he gets the feeling to
make a picture of that. -Yannick! FOCUS!!! [Upbeat music fades in] So what I'm gonna do right now is peel the
carrot, but we're not going to film that. This is something that your audience
knows how that works. You just peel it, so we don't
have to show that. If you want to make a rhythmic montage,
you can just cut that out. But we do have to make sure that,
once I'm going to peel the carrot, that is going to lay back
on that exact same position. So, that's why I'm now going to
mark the carrot first, again, with some tape here, and that way I know where
I have to lay it back. So, something like that. It doesn't
have to be perfect, but you do want to try to get it in
that same spot the best you can. Now, usually you can't take all of
your pictures from that stop shot. Some things, like putting this cherry
tomato right here on top of that carrot, requires a side shot. So, for that we've got
the GH5 over there, and that is going to film while
we're going to do that. So, that way we can kind of mix a
stop-motion feel to it together with video. So, let's do that right now. So, those were the last
pictures, guys. So, look how cute this little
vegetable car is! It kind of reminds me of Toad
from Mario Kart. But that doesn't matter. Let's take all the
pictures, all the shots that we have, and let's head over to
the editing room! -Come on, Yannick! The editing room! So, bringing your video files into Adobe
Premiere Pro it's not that hard, of course. But your photos is. Definitely if you've shot them
all in a RAW format. For that, we first need to process them
through Adobe Photoshop, And Yannick is about
to do that right now. He's actually selected
all of our shots and drag them into Photoshop, which
will open them all up at once. And after that, you can
select all your photos and start doing your color
correction onto it with the Photoshop
RAW plugin. Now, important here is that you're
going to go for a fresh look, definitely if you're going to work
with that white background. And also that your vegetable
colors are going to be pretty vivid. That way they kind of
look nice and clean and also tasty, of course. And then finally, when you're done
playing with the sliders, you can go all the way to the bottom
and click on Save Images. And then you got a bunch of options to where
you want to save it, the format and everything. And we're going to go for the
JPEG format, right here. Because we're just doing
this for YouTube, it's not that important that we're
going to retain that RAW quality. But, if you're going to scroll
a little bit more down, you'll also see the option to change
the size of your image. And that is important, definitely if you are
going to work with very high resolution shots. You might wanna bring this back
to a 4k or maybe HD resolution, and that way you're going to work
easier inside Premiere. Now, before we are going to drag
all of our JPEG images into Premiere, we are first going to change the setting
under the Edit on top of the menu, click on that, then head over
to Preferences and click on Timeline
at the bottom. Then in that setting you wanna locate
Still Image Default Duration and first of all change it
to Frames, and then you want to set it
to somewhere around 2. And then just press ok. And now we can go to your Explorer
and drag all of your shots, or all of those JPEG images,
into Premiere Pro. And you will then see, once you are
going to select all of your shots, and bring them into
the timeline, they will have a default
duration of two frames. And now you can continue
to finalize your video. Simply paste your shots next to each other,
add your favorite music to it and perhaps some titles. We are also going to use some elements
from the Yum pack from Rocketstock to it to make it a little bit
more dynamic. So, while Yannick is going
to finalize the results, after that we're going to take
a look at the final result. Thank you all so much
for watching, thank you Rocketstock for
sponsoring us today. And like always: stay creative! [Upbeat music fades in] [Upbeat music ending chord] [Car passing by sound] [Jordy saying "meow"] [Jordy saying "meow"]
